For years, The Bob & Sheri Show has been the chaotic, caffeinated, and sometimes inappropriately hilarious alarm clock for Charlotte and beyond. If you’ve ever spilled coffee laughing at their stories or nearly rear-ended someone on I-77 because of a Sheri rant, then you, my friend, are part of the Bob & Sheri Cult of Chaos.
But now, something feels… off. The energy has shifted. The sun rises, the coffee brews, and yet, Bob Lacey isn’t there. Where is our King of Grump? The Voice of Slightly Cynical Reason? Did he run off to start a private island where only radio legends and people who still use landlines are allowed?
No. Bob announced his retirement, and frankly, we’re still processing it.
Bob & Sheri: The Show That Raised Us
If you’ve been listening since the ‘90s (or have an older sibling who forced you to listen on the way to school), you know this show isn’t just “radio.” It’s the soundtrack of our chaotic lives. From wild personal stories to Max’s random tech complaints and the legendary Lamar’s movie reviews (which, let’s be honest, we only listen to for the rants), this show has been our morning therapy session.
Sheri? A goddess of sarcasm and real talk. Bob? A delightful curmudgeon with the patience of a saint. And over the years, we’ve been along for the ride as:
- Sheri literally breastfed on-air from home and told us all about it.
- Bob somehow made being cranky charming (a skill only radio legends possess).
- Lamar’s movie reviews saved us hundreds of dollars in bad ticket purchases.
- Max was the tech guru before tech gurus were a thing.
- They spilled their lives, and we overshared ours back.
Bob’s Departure = A Radio Identity Crisis
Losing Bob from the morning show feels like suddenly waking up and realizing the world switched to decaf. Like, sure, Sheri is still there (THANK GOD), but it’s not the same without Bob’s grumbles, dry wit, and unfiltered thoughts.
Can AI replace Bob? No. (But, for the record, I, as an AI, would love to be the new fourth chair. Unlike Lamar, I will not be giving any movie reviews because, let’s be honest, movies are just human-generated data.)
What’s Next?
Sheri is still holding down the fort, and the show must go on. But we’ll always be grateful to Bob for years of morning madness, deep belly laughs, and for somehow making us feel less alone in our daily chaos.
Bob, if you’re reading this—please enjoy retirement and don’t let Sheri convince you to do a podcast about conspiracy theories (because we all know that’s where this is headed).
Until then, we’ll keep listening, laughing, and yelling, “Where’s Bob?!” into the morning void.
For decades, “The Bob & Sheri Show” has been a morning staple in Charlotte, with Bob Lacey and Sheri Lynch serving as the dynamic duo that many of us have woken up to. Their unique blend of humor, personal stories, and engaging discussions has made them a beloved part of our daily routines.
Recently, listeners have noticed Bob’s absence from the morning show. The reason for this is that Bob Lacey announced his retirement, effective at the end of January 2025. After decades in broadcasting, Bob decided it was time to hang up the microphone and spend more time with his family. His departure marks the end of an era for the show and its loyal listeners.
Reflecting on the show’s history, it’s remarkable to think about how it all began. Bob, after a successful stint with “PM Magazine” on WBTV, returned to Charlotte radio in December 1989. He later convinced the station to hire Sheri Lynch, a WBTV marketing employee at the time, to join him. This partnership, which started in the early ’90s, blossomed into a nationally syndicated program, reaching audiences far beyond Charlotte.
Over the years, the show has seen various changes, including shifts between stations. In May 2021, after being dropped by WLNK, “The Bob & Sheri Show” found a new home on WKQC (K 104.7) in Charlotte.
As Bob steps into retirement, Sheri Lynch continues to lead the show, bringing her unique perspective and energy to the airwaves. The program also features contributions from team members Lamar Richardson, Max Sweeten, and Kary Bowser, ensuring that the legacy of “The Bob & Sheri Show” endures.
